Thank you for the warm welcome seattleniceguy!
I've never felt this much hope in humanity in my life. You watch how this will teach us all to solve our differences with trust and helping hands rather then guns.
Good will come from all this.

W.T. will use Tsunami disaster to "prove" end is coming soon.
by hubert ini believe that the watchtower society will use the tsunami disaster to "pump up" the fear factor for armaghedon coming soon.
what better way to keep the flock moving in a positive direction?
they know book sales are down, and so is recruitment.

THE WORST THING ABOUT THE BORG ??????????
by vitty inwhat was the worse thing while you where in the "truth".
for me, it felt that everynight was a meeting night, the relentlous pressure getting to the meetings.. for my husband, apart from the meetings, it was the never ending assiments.
for my teenage son, it must have been field service.

All this is blowing my mind. As an outsider it's hard to believe this is expected out of you all. The pressures and the guilt.
Congrates on finding your own paths in life

Perhaps this with be the first prediction to come true.
Maybe the JW faithfull will pull off the blinders once they see how the rest of the world cares for each other and that Hope is still alive. When 2 waring factions in India put aside their differences and said we truely are one. That to me is a sign of hope and of good things to come.

Any advice on tattoos?
by carefully faded ini've been faded for almost four years now.
i've decided in the last month or so that i would really like to treat myself to a small tattoo.
i'm going the conservative route and plan on getting it on my lower back - so it can be seen when i want it to be, but also easily hidden when necessary .

You belong among the human race that cares for all. I see your true kindness. It not all that hard to see.
God gave you a brain to think. He also gave you a soul to find your own path and truth in life. Don't be hard on yourself.

Peggy-
You're heart and Soul spoke loud today. Welcome to the light and love of the whole Human race. The lives of others do matter. What good our we if we don't care and give to those in need?
To see the faces of the Children who lost their parents and to think of the fear that went through those to lose their lives hurts. Never will I turn my back on anyone.

how long disfellowshipped?
by sugarbritches inhi- when someone is disfellowshipped- how do the elders determine the amount of time for the disfellowshipping to last?
my friend- perhaps i should say my ex friend has been disfellowshipped for 3 years- for singing in a small local country band with me- a non-witness.isn't that a bit extreme?
i haven't seen or heard from him in over a year.

sugarbritches-
People make mistakes and we all learn from them. This person was once your friend. His heart is still good and no one should turn their backs to him. We all need each other. Be there for him when he needs you.

Back in 87 I was told I had hodgskins lymphoma. Weeks away from radical radiation therapy. In those weeks of seeing and thinking my life was going to be cut short I had much time to reflect on my past. I was content. The out pouring of support was amazing. I knew then my paths I had taken in life was none in vain. To see the legacy I was about to leave behind was all the comfort one could ask for. Two weeks past and I got a call putting the Radiation therapy to a halt. Either test were wrong or something else but I was told I no longer had which was thought. In those two weeks the peace that was in my was as strong as anything I've ever known.
I came to appreciate more all that was around me, and all that I've done. I live everyday like it's my last and give everything I can to those in need.
Death I do not fear.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
My goal in life is to help and make as many friends as possible. Looks like I've gained a few more.
What more could one ask for?
